“Moving Beyond LOCKDOWN,

Alert, Lockdown, inform,Counter, Evacuate

Comprehensive Preparedness for a Violent Intruder Event

Utilizing Infrastructure, Technology, and Human Action to Increase Survival Chances

What is A.L.i.C.E.?

Post-1999, Schools needed a procedureColumbine

Law Enforcement focus was on its own responseAre Education/Health/Business Professionals equipped to

construct the response to an …. Active Violent Threat?Is a Violent Intruder an educational or criminal event? What do many police officers suggest to their own

kids in response to an attack?

Where did LOCKDOWN come from?

LOCKDOWN in Action

For the Police/Admin…Command

One word can initiate procedureControl

Know where everyone is locatedConvenience

Easily administered and followed

Keep you in for SAFETY!

For the Shooter/Terrorist…Command

Mere exhibition of intent forces command change

ControlProcedure requires everyone to

remainConvenience

Minimal action achieves most difficult objective (containment of large, complicated structures)

Keep you in to HURTYOU!

What are the Benefits of LOCKDOWN?

• Active shooter incident begins

• Initiate emergency action plan

• Lockdown/Secure in place

• Wait for police arrival

TRADITIONAL SCHOOL PROTOCOLS

• Does not account for all contingencies

• What if you are in the danger area when the shooting starts?

• Limited responses decreases SURVIVABILITY!

Weakness of Traditional School Response

1.Fight2.Flight3.FreezeWhich response does LOCKDOWN most

closely resemble? Is just one of these always the best and only option?

A Comprehensive Program

“Enhance … Not Change!”

Information is the key to good decisionsProvide as much initial intel as possible to as many people as possible

No more Code Words

Alert

We support LOCKDOWN as a toolExcellent Starting PointWhat is the first level of protection?Should already be “locked-in”!How can we better secure the classroom?

Lockdown

Continuation of the ALERTProvide Real-Time Information – HOW?Allows for Good Decision-Making

inform

Teach skills that interrupt the physical and mental act of shooting accurately.

Teach skills that will allow the targets to benefit from unknown tactical advantages!

Counter

Age and Grade appropriate techniquesStudents will learn to engage in acts that will require

very high skill level:NoiseMovementDistanceDistractionsSWARM

Interfere with ability to easily acquire targets and shoot accurately?

Counter

Provide occupants with the ability and authority to evacuate

Removes as many potential targets as possibleRemoves need for family/friends to come to sceneEstablish Rally Points

Evacuate

“Before anything else, preparation is the key to success.”

Alexander Graham Bell

“Experience is something you get right after you need it.”
